of planks and sticks from his expected
charge.

young girl, who, with shrek, fell to the
ground, but one of the toreadors, with
great presence of mind, trailed red cloth
in the path, and thus diverted his a'ten

way into that part of the ring known as
the "Tertula." \ young man in one of

bullets from his revolver which he man

crease his fury One of the men tried to
run him through, but he missed him. and

stepped aside, and the bulls horns went
so deep into the wooden paling that before

their swords into him. Even this did not

On upper Broadway, in big bird cage,
is an iguana lizard, that was found on a
Brazilian steamer, and given to cigar
ette manufacturer by the captain. 1t is a
curious creature, with its green and sealy
hide and its spiked back and hooded head.
What makes it odder to look at is that its
tail is broken off. The tail of the iguana,
in state Of nature, is long, slender and
brittle. 1t snaps off like candy sticks ut
Il rude touch. The iguana is an edible
reptile, and among the Indians and
negroes of tropical countries it is deadly

In real estate office the other day l
heard a gentleman relating the experience
of an eastern friend of his who many years
ago, for bad n debt of 10000 was
compelled to accept western land OF the
estimated value of $15, 900. He paid CON
stantly increasing taxes upon the land for
n number of years without going to see it,
One day his agent telegraphed him, ask
ing what he would take for the land, which
had finally come to be far within the cor
porate limits of Chicago. The owner fig
ured that, taxes and interest, the land had
cost him $50, 600, and more in joke than
ANYTHING else, not dreaming that the of
fer would he accepted, wrote telegram
saving that he would take S50,0O0 cash
for the property. He sent the message by
his office hoy to the telegraph office,
where the clerk insisted that the sum be
spelled ont in the message, The office
boy rewrote it, and by mistake wrote
$500, 600 instead of $50, 600
In an hour back came the reply: "Offer
of half million dollars accepted. Make
deed and come on aud get certified

handsome present for his clerical error

which to re-establsh himself in business.

A notorious gambler of the last century
finally ruined himself by very extra
ordinary bet He had been playing with
Lord Lorn; their stakes had been very
high, and luck had gone steadily against
him. Exasperated at his losses, he
jumped up from the card table, and, sez-
ing large punch bowl, said; For once
I'll have bet where | have an equal
chance of winnng Odd or even, for 15,
900 guineass' "Odd,'' replied the peer
calmly. The bowl was dashed against the
wall, and, on the pieces being counted,
there proved to he an odd one. The rash
gambler paid up his 10, 900 guneas but,
if tradition be correct, it was only by sell
ing the last of his estates that he was
enabled to do so.-Chambers' Journal.

The First Persian Railway.

1t is stated that syndicate, composed
chiefly of Belgians, has obtained from the
Persian government the concession for
constructing the first Persian railway.
The first line will be run from the capital,
Teheran, to the celebrated place Of pill
grimage, Shah Abdul Aim, place Of
5000 inhabitants, and it will be about
ten kiometers in length. 1t is said that
the concession granted to this Belgian
company has an Importance far exceeding
any value that can be attached to any
single line of rail, as it entities them to
the exclusive right of constructing and
working long line from the Caspian sea
to the Persian gulf.-New York Post.
